The 2nd way seems to be what Epicor intended. I feel that just adding fields in the RDL is “cleaner” than adding tables via joins too.
The PackSlip RDD already includes the table OrderHed (although it appears to have no table relationships). And the OrderNum was already in the Picked Links. So I all have to do in the RDD is make sure the fields are in the Description Fields.
Just curious …
Since the OrderHed table was already included and the linked to the ShipDtl, why can’t I just make sure the OrderHed fields I want are not marked as Excluded?
Or am I misinterpreting what the Report Table Exclusion list means?
